Kinda arguing against yourself by saying that he's not underrated because of one match from two years ago.

Nobody saw either of those things. "Takeover Cardiff" is faker than AEW Dark.

Wow, WWE really insults the intelligence of its fans with their conspiracy theories. "Hmm, what will we call our fake event. Let's name it after the town with that fake giant."

Dude has had plenty of bangers before and since, and missed a whole bunch of ring time due to NXT UK shutting down. Not entirely sure what you're arguing here?

The faces he makes while posting are inexcusable! When he writes a post his face is like a troll double checking bones to see if there's any meat left! When I post I look like a peacock softly kissing a rose! Didn't his parents provide him with a posting mirror to practice forums faces growing up?
I had to look it up Takeover Cardiff was a real show that aired in 2019 the same day as the first All Out ppv

It's even better than that, they ran it the same day that New Japan did over 6,000 at the Copper Box in London

That calling a guy who has plenty of bangers and people are only aware of a couple of them is underrated and calling them underrated isnt a stupid opinion. I cannot stress this enough, you are literally arguing against yourself.

The hilarious part being that they based it on inside info that less than half the NJPW tickets were sold... but didn't realise there were multiple ticket sellers.

I don't understand what you mean by, arguing against myself?

Bate has plenty of great matches which are mostly rated 4 stars and above. He's mega over with crowds and is consistently the most popular and best performer on the show and is recognised as such. Calling him underrated is just wrong.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
If a 5* match happens in NXT UK and nobody's around to see it did it really happen???

Really though, it's easy to call Tyler Bate under-rated, under-used, under-utilized. What percentage of the WWE viewers watch NXT? Out of those who do, what percentage of NXT watchers actually see NXT UK? It's gotta be like, 5% or less of the WWE audience, easily. He can be the best wrestler in the world and praised by journalists and critics but he's on a brand that most people don't watch, including the niche audience WWE has already got for NXT-Prime.

Takeover Cardiff didn't even sell out, idk what you're arguing for

Anyway Tyler Bate's an awesome wrestler but if you asked people to name the top 100 wrestlers in the world today he wouldn't even show up on people's lists cause he's so far off everyone's radar from being stuck in NXT UK. That's what we mean by him being underrated

Yeah, Bate is one of the best wrestlers I've ever seen live and I basically forgot he existed while I'm spending every week hearing about what Eva Marie and Dominic Mysterio is up to.

people don't say "rated" to mean liked or well-known here where i live, while they most certainly do use it that way in other places. "i rate him," would be said elsewhere but not in my home. to people who live in my house it appears more that something 'unknown' is considered underrated. the word itself makes the opinion of the subject out to be the main issue but it's actually just what amounts to trivia; whether this person is known or not. that isn't useful for anything. the NXT UK Heritage Cup Title is "underrated." foolish. i'm just kidding. i know what everything means and how everyone feels when they say what they're saying. every single person is easily understandable and i agree with all of you. we're playing friendly games. you were never owned

Just a reminder, Tyler Bate did get called out in some speaking out stuff from grooming minors to being a general horndog/sleazeball. I don't know if any of those allegations ever got shut down or not, but worth mentioning I guess.

Also, I always get Tyler Bate and Bateman mixed up in my head whenever I hear one of their names.

I think a lot of people conflated the two, including the friend-of-a-friend accusers. Bate's only actual concrete thing I heard about was propositioning a girl for sex at a bar and getting turned down, which got attached to the movement because I guess it's creep-adjacent? Not that I'd be surprised if he did more though.
